Gossamer Tee

The Gossamer Tee is a Tunisian crochet summer top that actually earns the word "airy." The lace structure isn't just decorative, it keeps the fabric genuinely breathable, which makes it the kind of thing you reach for on hot days when you still want to feel put-together. It works up beautifully in cotton, linen, or any plant-fiber blend, and the fingering weight keeps it light even in larger sizes.

It's designed with flexibility built in. You can adjust the length, choose between two sleeve options, and work it either in the round or as flat panels depending on your preference. Skill-wise, it's rated advanced beginner for Tunisian crochet, so if you're comfortable with the basics and ready to try something with a little more texture, this is a great next step. The merlot colorway in the sample photos was dyed by LeRoo Cotton, who collaborated on the yarn selection for this pattern.
